I can't burn a CD - R, close Media Player or shut down my computer.

I didn't think that the burn was in progress, so I ejected it and tried a new CD. Now he says how many minutes left on the first CD and does not burn a new. I can't close the program or my computer.  No idea what I can do?  I still want to burn the playlist.

Hello

I suggest you perform a system restore to the date when the computer was working fine and check.

How to restore Windows XP to a previous state

Important: System Restore affects the Windows system files, programs and registry settings that have been changed recently. It can also make changes to scripts, files, batch and other types of executable files on your computer. System Restore does not affect personal files, such as e-mail, documents, or photos, so it cannot help you restore a deleted file.

To locate the Add / Remove Programs:

(a) click on Start

(b) go to Control Panel

c) click on Add or remove programs)

(d) enable the option: show the programs currently installed updates and updates

(e) click Remove: Windows Media Player

  • I can't burn a CD with Windows Media Player.

    I can't burn a CD using Windows Media Player. I use a Sony CD - RW 700 MB and the latest version of Windows Media Player.  My computer recognizes it as a blank CD, I can create the playlist to burn and when I hit the button to burn, Windows goes through the motions of burn the disc, but when I re-read the disc, there's nothing there, it's always a blank disc.  The same thing happens with itunes.  I tried to use a blank Memorex CD - R disc, but my computer will not even recognize it.  I burned the disks before using Windows Media Player.    Help?

    Hello

    Having too many CD/DVD programs can cause strange problems, especially if they're loading of parts of
    themselves at the start because they will be competing for resources. This does not mean that this issue has been
    caused by those, however, it's a possibility depending on which and how many you have installed.

    You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
    Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
    correctly.

    Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner might help.

    Brand of the CD or DVD drive can also be the problem. Low quality (cheap brands) are always problematic.

    CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the edge outside these discs
    tolerances. They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.

    Also I suggest you to check the content in the DVD once it finishes burning.

  • Can't burn data DVD on Windows Media Player

First of all, I'm sure that my DVD drive can burn the DVD, I have a lot of DVD burned on other programs, but the Windos Media Player is the best option to save my music library prety and though I can use other programs that I wanted to use Windows Media Player.

  • I can't burn my CD on Windows Media Player error "connect a burner and restart the player.

    I have a bunch of files music m4a songs bought on iTunes that are on the Windows Media Player. I insert a blank CD, and he refuses to burn the songs. I put it in my laptop, go to the option burn and it says "connect a burner and restart the player ' and doesn't read that there is a CD in there, even if there is. Even if I put all the songs I want in it, it won't work. I need help.

    No problem, at least it's a step forward that it is not only the media player.

    At this point if the CD-ROM drive does not at all, it could be a couple of things.

    1. First of all, just make sure under the folders under the view tab Options, that the "hide empty drives" is not selected. It could make your CD-ROM writer hidden just because there is no data in there at the moment.
    2. The drive appears not could also be that it is disconnected, but it's not terribly likely.
    3. Check Device Manager to see if the CD drive is listed, and if she has any warnings associated with it. You can open the Device Manager by performing a search in the search box of the start menu.  Locate the CD drive in the list, and then double-click it to view the status. He can say everything is fine, or can provide details on all issues.  Also, while you're here, you can check an updated driver. But this brings me to the next point...
    4. If the driver he is already up to date, it is interesting to watch your your model computer manufacturer Web site see if they have a newer version. Sometimes Device Manager detects outdated drivers and uses, when the manufacturer's website has something more recent.

  • I can not burn an Audio disc with Media Player 11

    My system = XP (SP3), 3 GB of RAM, Intel CPU G620

    Media Player 11 will not burn a playlist.

    I dragged a list of MP3 files to a playlist for burning.  However, when I click on the button burn, WMP11 starts to burn apparently the first track on the list but then stops at 96%. I tried at different speeds, the media and even a CD - RW and the same thing happens.
    Curiously, that WMP11 is burning track 1, the progress bar indicates "finalize disc". This would seem a strange message because it is just the first piece of 10 and so has not yet reached the end of the list.
    After the burn hangs at 96% for a few seconds, I get the error message;
    "Windows media player cannot burn the files to the CD. Check that the disc is clean and not damaged. If necessary, select a slower recording speed or try a different brand of blank discs.
    HOWEVER, I also have NERO 7 and I have absolutely no problems burning the same Audio disc.
    It's extremely frustrating and I would appreciate some advice on this.

    I decided to go back to WMP 9 and then reinstalling WMP11

    Now, everything works as it should!
    However, I found an absolutely terrible navigation in WMP11 - sometimes I don't know where to go for a task. Nero - although his gripes - is a breeze in comparison.

Lately, I noticed that when I click Start, stop, there is a small yellow exclamation point or shield on the close button and when you hoover over closed, he says that Windows will install the updates and then stop. It doesn't give you a choice.
    Is it possible to stop without having to install the update until you know what the update is all about, that might not be immediately. Can go you to Windows Update and hide the update, that would be a pain in the neck, if there is more than one?
    Or is it somehow a way to get rid of this or these until you are able to check and see what the update or updates are on?
